Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #267

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe how fast Christmas is coming?!  We are now blanketed in white here in Southern Ontario.  I am going to say that I'm not a big fan of the snow.  I know that coming from a Canadian that may sound strange but honestly, snow isn't my favourite thing.  Our new kitten however seems to thoroughly enjoy the snow. Great.  Just what I need!  A cat who wants to go outside and play in the snow all winter!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week if the amazing Jen Timko!  Did you see Jen's Christmas wreath cards the other day?  They're just beautiful. Head over to her blog to check them out!

 I couldn't bear to make another Christmas cards so birthday it is!  I pulled out my Amazing Birthday stamp set and decided that this image would work the best.  I kinda wanted to add some colour so decided to do some crazy cutting rather than using markers to colour.  I don't colour well!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamps: Amazing Birthday
Ink: Stazon Black, Perfect Plum, Tempting Turquoise, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder
Other: Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the fabulous cares the design team has created for you!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #154

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you are having a great week!  Things are getting busier around here and I'm gearing up for Jacob's birthday party on the weekend.  Because his birthday is at the end of summer vacation we do his friend party after school starts.  Dinosaur theme this year.  Planning is a bit more tedious than I thought!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  The fabulous Cindy Lovell has created a beauty for us!  If you haven't been to Cindy's blog lately you are missing out!  Her cards are amazing!

I think I strayed from the sketch further than I normally would.  I got a little frustrated and opted to use a banner instead of a square.  I needed a little something different.  I apologize for the colour of the photo.  It looked great on my camera but once I downloaded it, I was rather disappointed.  I love DSP paper stacks.  They are perfect for cards and usually result in far less scrap paper around here!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Smokey Slate, Whisper White
DSP: Moonlight DSP Stack
Stamps: Starburst Sayings, Amazing Birthday
Ink: Smokey Slate, Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Starbust Framelits, Banners Framelits, Hexagon TIEF, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the amazing cards the Clean Team has come up with!  You will not be disappointed!

Have a  fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #148

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We are totally enjoying a fabulous week with my mom and dad!  Jacob is having his vacation week!  He was super excited to stay (as long as mom and Caleb stayed too!).  Today we took a trip to Ottawa and visited the Museum of Nature and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum!  Both were big hits!

We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of the fabulous Jen Mitchell!  I am always inspired by the amazing cards that Jen creates!  For the month of August we have a fabulous new designer with us!  Please welcome Kim Singdalhsen to our little group!  Please stop by her blog and show her some love!

I wanted to keep my card fairly simple.  I decided to go with a black and white look.  Of course I needed to throw in some silver.  That wasn't quite enough.  It needed a something little extra so I added a pop of red in there to give it some pizzazz.  I used the new Amazing Birthday stamp set!  Super fun to work with!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver
Stamps: Amazing Birthday
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Have a wonderful day!
